Design of packed tower

The cross sectional view of the packed tower is shown in Figure 4.5. Design of packed tower may be (I) on the basis of individual mass transfer coefficients or (II) on the basis of overall mass transfer coefficient. The column is packed with packing materials (any type) to provide more contact between gas and liquid.
